Israeli airstrikes on Gaza overnight killed at least 104 Palestinians, including children, in what appeared to be the gravest challenge yet to the increasingly fragile US-brokered ceasefire and the deadliest day since the truce began.

The strikes, one of the bloodiest attacks in the two-year war, killed at least 35 children and injured 200 people, according to Gaza’s civil defence agency. They took place hours after Donald Trump said nothing would jeopardise the ceasefire agreement he had helped broker.
...
The toll was confirmed by an Agence France-Presse (AFP) tally of reports from medical officials at five Gaza hospitals that received the dead and wounded.

Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the strikes on Tuesday evening after a firefight between Palestinian militants and Israeli troops, and amid growing anger over Hamas turning over body parts of a hostage whose remains Israeli troops had recovered two years before.

"Fragile" makes it sound stronger than it is.

1. When you kill 104 people, there is no ceasefire.

[AloeVera]

6. Israel already killed over 100 people in the first 2 weeks.

All those dead women and children are just "hiccups" but when an IDF soldier is allegedly fired at, that's a CLEAR violation.

8. Word for word what I was going to say. The media spin here is ridiculous.

2. Damn......................

3. Broken now.

It was fragile two weeks ago.

4. Wasn't this the "easy part" of trump's Big, Beautiful Peace Plan?

[Lonestarblue]

5. Bibi has the hostages back. He will now continue his genocide.

[Easterncedar]

7. Sadly true

Using dead hostages as justification for killing more Palestinians children.
Netanyahu is evil.

[Scrivener7]

9. Dear media: "fragile" and "dead as a doornail" are different things.

10. Quit pretending there is a ceasefire. IDF has been bombing since the ink dried.

[Dave Bowman]

11. It's not fragile, it's over. And it was very predictable.

12. Netti always does this

Never take him at his word. He repeats the cycle over and over- do something, like a land grab, to incite Palestinians. When they react, then arrest, beat and bomb them. Then when they react to that, bomb civilians, hospitals, schools, and more. Meanwhile, evicting Palestinians and taking their houses and land. Also lie about it. Then, reject several cease fires, while still bombing and grabbing land. Then negotiate a cease fire, keep quiet for a few days until they find a reason to resume bombing and killing civilian

13. fragile, how about non-existent if your one of those 104..
